Turbo Help!

hey im looking to buy a turbo ive been looking at the vf39 and the vf34 because they are an easy bolt on for a wrx. what i was wondering if the 20g was also an easy bolt on or if you need like a different up pipe or down pipe.
Thanks.

The 20g is a lot bigger than the vf39 and vf34. If anything, go with a 16g or 18g... the 20g will be way too laggy for your 2.0. Another turbo that is comparable to the 16g but made by IHI is the vf22.

since VF39s are great turbos on 2.0s and damn near free I would say try that out firt, then when your ready to blow up your tranny you can get something bigger

I disagree, I've had one for over 1.5yrs now...21psi by 3500rpm = not laggy. Very happy with it, although I should have gone rotated & saved myself some money in the long run.

as stated above, the VF39 is cheap & can be made pretty damn quick....just make sure the exhaust housing isn't cracked.
